RESONANT FREQUENCY TRACKING FOR ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHING

A system for controlling a power signal for zero voltage switching (ZVS) includes a voltage zero crossing detection module to detect a zero voltage condition in response to an inverter voltage from a resonant inverter crossing zero volts, and a current zero crossing detection module to detect a zero current condition in response to an inverter current from the resonant inverter crossing zero amps. The system further includes a phase detect module to detect actual phase data corresponding to an actual phase angle between the inverter voltage and the inverter current based on the zero voltage and zero current condition. The system further includes a comparator to determine a phase difference between a desired phase between the inverter voltage and the inverter current and the actual phase angle. The system further includes a controller to adjust a property of a resonant inverter to reduce the phase difference.

RETRACTABLE LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND AUTORETRACTION METHODS

Methods and systems are provided for autonomously operating a retractable lighting arrangement. One method involves obtaining a current speed of the vehicle when the lighting arrangement is in an extended state, and when the current speed is greater than a threshold when the lighting arrangement is in the extended state, verifying one or more illumination elements associated with the lighting arrangement are in a deactivated state and thereafter automatically signaling an actuation arrangement associated with the lighting arrangement to transition the lighting arrangement from the extended state to a retracted state.
